A STORY OF A KISS.
What Woman was Afraid OF and What
Really Happened.
Fronl az Chnnbers, Jonrfani.

From tie Chambers Journal.
A Circassian was walking along one read
and woman along another, The roads
finally united into one. and reaching the
point Of junction at the same time they walked
on together. The man was carrying a large
iron kettle on his hack; in one hand he held
the legs of live chicken, in the otner cane,
and he was leading goat. Thew neared a
dark ravine. Said the woman: Il am afraid
10 go through that ravine with you; 1t IL
lonely place, and You might overpower
me and kiss me by force" said the man:
How can I possibly overpower you ana
kiss you by force when l have this great
mon kettle on my back, a cane IN one hand,
live CHICKEN In the other. aud am leading this
goatS might as well be tled hand ana foot
Yes" replied the woman: but If you should
stick your cane in the ground and tie your
goat 10 it, and turn the kettle bottom side up
and put the chicken under it, then you might
wickedly kiss me In spite of my resistance"
success to thy ingenuity, o woman" SAID
the rejoicing man To himself; II should never

[ he Standard Oil COMPANY.

1t appears TO be extremely difficult to
get at the truth respecting transactions
which in any way involve securities
which Wall street deals in. There have
been great many stories published about
the American Cotton Seed Oil Trust Com
pany and its affairs since it was stated
that Armour, the millionaire pork packer,
and some OF his millionaire friends were
about to become competitors OF the OIL
Trust in the business of manufacturing
cotton seed oil.
One of the stories was that Armour was
trying to bulldoze the Oh Trust to sell
him cotton seed oil at his own price, but
that he would find himself mistaken II he
thought he could scare that concern, be-
cause 1t was backed by men twenty times
richer than he WAS. 1t was incidentally
mentioned that the Standard Oil Com
pany, or at least the richest members Of
it. were the hackers Of the OIL Trust.
1t seems that the Standard Oil is not in
terested in the OH Trust. Mr.. Henry
Rogers, of the Standard Oil, is quoted in
the New York sun as saying that that
company ia in no way interested in the
VII lEuSLs IlC 6bdlSu ulSO Lndl NIL It III
Ter, of the Standard Oil, might hold lit
tie of the OIL Trust stock, as an Invest
ment, but that he was sure that no other
member of the Standard OIL owned any
OF the stock.
Mr.. ROg ers also stated that the Stand.
ard oil has no connection whatever with
many other enterprises with which oom-
mon report connects it. 1t is not engaged
in the cattle buSness in the West. and
has no interest in the Gas Improvement
Company OF Philadelphia, the New York
Steam Company, the Cleveland Acid Com.
pany and other companies which it is
popularly supposed to control.
Ii Mr.. Rogers is reported correctly, the
Standard Oil does not cover quite 80 much
territory as the public has been led to be.
lieve it does. 1t covers enough, however,
and is big enough monopoly to make the
public think that it pulls plums out OF
good many pies.

A Piucky schOoImaster

From the ~. L1uLs ReDN0ttcan.
Justice Medart's court was the scene OF a
lively scrimmage yesterday afternoon ana
blood was freely spatJereu over the benches,
the cOmmotiOu was the suit brought against
Mr.. II j. Klein. principal of the Humboldt
school. bv Constable John HI. Siefert, charg-
ing him with assaulting and striking his on
JuIlus, 10Y OF ~ years. who was one of the
pupils. The office OF the Justice was crowded
with the school children, who had been sub
p9naed as Witnesses, and the friends of the
belIgerents. The constable. large. power
jul man. was In court early. but Mr.. Klein
came in late with Attorney Hammill, who
asked for continuance until Saturday =,
which the Justice granted.
The crowd was just leaving the room, and
Siefert and Klein were standing a few feet
apart, when a sudden rush occurred, and
-iefert struck Klein blow with his fist on his
mouth and nose, drawing bll cd. A general
scrlmmage then ensued, in which lawyers,
police and bystanders took a hand aud dur
ing the excitement the school teacher freed
himself from the crowd. ana raising over his
head stout hickory stick. he took deliberate
aim for the cOnstabe's face and brought it
down with terrific force, cutting open his
right cheek and leaving the marks of it from
his forehead to his chin. The constable then
m ade rush for his antagonist, while a son
about II years Of age was getting in some ter
ribe blows on the ribs Of the school teacher
Chief Merker, an officer. and Justice Chal-
Tenor then took a hand in the fight, and. after
a hard tussle, succeeded in keeping the prin-
cipals apart. The constable being deter
mined to get even with the wiry school
teacher, who. though much smaller man
seemed to be possessed of considerable
muscle, resisted alt efforts to force him from
the Office, and IL was mainly through the
herculean efforts of his counsel, Henry Chal-
Tenor that he was elected from the room.

That jolly old sea-dog, ex-Secretary of
The Navy Richard Thompson, has been
dropped from the pay roll of the Panama
canal scheme. That ought not to cause
any surprise. His connection with the
scheme was brought about by De Les
seps, and not at all, as many seem to sup
pose, because of any influence it would
nave in this country, but Tor its antici-
pated effect on French investors. De
Lesseps, who is one of the shrewdest and
most sagacious men of this day, conceived
the idea that 1t would be great card to
get the American Secretary of the Navy
connected with his scheme. He baited
his hook with $4,000 a year and Mr..
Thompson swallowed it very quickly.
He resigned from Mr.. Hayes Cabinet,
and was duly installed as an adjunct OF
the De Lesseps project. The fact was
duly blazoned all over. Europe, and IN
